Enlarged blood vessels on scrotum forming blood like pockets

Guest

I have what appears to be where the smaller blood vessel are present areas that seem to contain the blood causing a small "blood pocket" or slightly enlarged blood vessel. They run strictly on the smaller blood vessels and resemble a "blister" but their not.

There is no pain assoicated with them. Should In be concerned.

Did you get an answer to this? I just noticed the same thing today. Very small bumps as you described. Seem to be at the end of a small vein.

Let me know.

I'm experiencing a similar problem -- reddened and enlarged blood vessels on the surface of the shaft of the penis, sometimes forming small, round blister-like patches (with no fluid, so I don't think it's HSV). Also, this is accompanied by pain and irritation. Anyone have similar symptoms or know what this could be?

Thanks

To the guest from 3/04/07, your symptoms are eerily similar to mine. I swore I must be the only person in the world suffering from this. I am convinced it's some kind of bacterial, fungal, or parastical infection. Where are you located in the US? Let me know if you find anything out from any docs, most I've been to are useless, just say fair skin, rosacea, etc. I can be reached at ****** Thanks.

Angiokeratoma of the Scrotum
Angiokeratomas are typically asymptomatic, 2- to 5-mm, blue-to-red papules with a scaly surface located on the scrotum, shaft of penis, labia majora, inner thigh, or lower abdomen. Histologically, they are composed of dilated ectatic capillaries in the superficial dermis with overlying epidermal hyperplasia.

Precise data on their frequency and distribution are lacking, although estimations have been made. The principle morbidity comes from bleeding, anxiety, and overtreatment due to misdiagnosis by physicians. Usually, they do not require treatment. If treatment is needed, then locally destructive methods including laser, electrocoagulation, excision, or cryotherapy may be used.

Angiokeratoma of the Scrotum

Background: In 1896, John Addison Fordyce first described angiokeratomas of Fordyce on the scrotum of a 60-year-old man. Angiokeratomas are typically asymptomatic, 2- to 5-mm, blue-to-red papules with a scaly surface located on the scrotum, shaft of penis, labia majora, inner thigh, or lower abdomen. Histologically, they are composed of dilated ectatic capillaries in the superficial dermis with overlying epidermal hyperplasia.

you are all INSANE!

if you look closer, you will notice that on the surface of your scrotum
skin, there are many many tiny delicate fragile blood vessels, that may
become traumatized during rough intercourse. if you apply too much pressure to these fragile vessels, they may develope "stretched out"
pockets along their length, where blood may pool. its not dangerous, and its not a disease, and its just not that pretty. but my girlfriend still goes down there for a little fun anyway. its not that bad. doctors have told me this information first hand. so not to worry. i just want to see if they have found a way to laser them off so my gal doesnt have to look at them every time
she goes down on me.

peace out.
